    Doug Ferguson is staring blankly at his screen - no clue what to do with THIS one!

    (just kidding, Doug, a joke, all in fun)

    I'm a little pissed at myself for blanking on that for so long.

    Thom Brennaman heard a big star was hurt in a car accident in Florida and rushed to Gainesville as fast as he could.

    Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday when his car struck a tree near his mansion in a gated waterfront community, authorities said.

    The Florida Highway Patrol said the 33-year-old PGA star hit the hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.

    The patrol reported Woods' injuries as serious, though Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan said the golfer was treated at a hospital and released in good condition.

    The patrol said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed. No one else was in the car, patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said.

    Woods' $2.4 million home is part of the exclusive Isleworth subdivision near Orlando, a community set on an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and a chain of small lakes. The neighborhood, which is fortified with high brick walls and has its own security force, is home to CEOs and other sports stars such as the NBA's Shaquille O'Neal.

    The accident happened at 2:25 a.m., though the FHP did not release the accident report until nearly 12 hours later.

    Gary Bruhn, mayor of the adjacent community of Windermere, said police from that village were among the first on the accident scene and saw Woods with cuts on his face. Montes said troopers consider the injuries serious if they require more than minor medical attention.

    Woods, who has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors, attended the Stanford-Cal football game, where he tossed the coin at the start of the game and was inducted into Stanford's sports Hall of Fame at halftime.

    Drip says you don't know the neighborhood and so stop trying to speculate about the crash since you don't know how much difficulty there is in driving there. He's been there tons of times though and knows it well. It's not easy.

    I'd like to know who his neighbor is. Tiger owes the guy a tree.

    I think the real one is under construction.

    A) His real home is under construction indeed -- about three hours away on Jupiter Island.

    B) At least one of his neighbors was/is Wesley Snipes, but I don't know if he hit a tree in front of that home.
